L’Ambassadeur et Ses Fonctions and Callieres’ treatise were the
most important books on diplomacy written during the eighteenth
century. Callieres’ treatise proved to be more durable, however,
because it introduced several ideas that are common today, such as a
professional foreign service and the use of regular diplomatic
representation to prevent war. Published to immediate acclaim in
1716 in Amsterdam, Paris, Brussels and Frankfurt (in German), it was
reissued several times into the twentieth century. Callieres was a
French diplomat active from 1670 to 1700. He was instrumental in
discussions ending the War of the Great Alliance and was appointed
cabinet secretary by Louis XIV.

* Later edition. First published in 1609, Mare Liberum
contained the core of Grotius’s thought on freedom of navigation.
Using a sophisticated argument based on natural law, and not on the
written codes of Roman law, Grotius argued for the free navigation
of the seas. More specifically, Grotius defended the actions of
Dutch fishermen, who were attempting to operate near the English
coast, and the Dutch East India Company, which was engaged in a
territorial dispute in the Caribbean with Portuguese traders. Selden
vigorously attacked his position in his Mare Clausum.
Grotius’ work was enormously influential on the later development of
international law. Grotius’s essay is complemented by those of Merel
and Boxhorn. A treaty between Henry VII of England and Philip,
Archduke of Austria is appended to the latter essay. Ter Meulen and

* A successor to the League of Nation’s Permanent Court of
International Justice, the International Court of Justice was
established in 1946 by the United Nations. Written during its early
years, this incisive study outlined how the court functioned as
“instrument for the maintenance of international peace and security”
and how it may function in the future. Though skeptical that the
court would be a powerful institution, Lissitzyn believed its
rulings would have a modest but notable effect on the development of
international law. Long out of print, this essay was originally
published in the Carnegie series United Nations Studies.

* Second edition, revised, the final and most comprehensive edition.
With contributions by Barbeyrac and Bynkershoek, two of the most
distinguished early scholars of modern international law. A landmark
in the literature of international relations, Wicquefort’s treatise
was the first to describe the practice of diplomacy and the
responsibilities of an ambassador. It was first published in
1680-1681. Immediately popular, it went through another edition and
several reissues and translations. The last imprint is a 1746
reissue of the revised second edition. Wicquefort, a Dutch diplomat
and historian, was an ambassador to the French court for the
Margrave of Brandenburg. The final section of Volume II is a French
translation of Bynkershoek’s De Foro Legatorum, an important
treatise on the status of diplomats in civil and criminal law.
“Reflexions Sur ces Memoires” is by Galardi, an Italian diplomat.
